re: HSCSD Status Nobodies crying "God Send Mobiles", anymore HSCSD enables subscribers of GSM networks to transmit and receive data at 43.2 kbps Combined, these 38 GSM HSCSD networks currently serve nearly 108 million customers with GSM services. >> Nokia Release Adds Weight To HSCSD Total Telecom Hannover 13 March 2002 Mobile operator representative body the GSM Association (GSMA) has hailed the launch of further high speed circuit switched data (HSCSD)-enabled handsets as a major boost to the 38 GSM network operators that claim to offer HSCSD services. Following Nokia's unveiling of a new HSCSD handset here at the CeBIT trade show in Hannover Tuesday (the Nokia 6310i due to ship 2Q 2002), GSMA chief executive Rob Conway praised Nokia's support for the data standard, now deployed mostly by European mobile carriers. HSCSD "enables subscribers of GSM networks to transmit and receive data at rates of up to 4 times the rate of transmission on GSM's second generation platform," said Conway. "This feature that enables networks to test existing new applications that demand high data rates over the existing infrastructure," he added. The technology, which can offer speeds to the handset of up to 43.2 kilobits per second, is part of the GSM data evolution 'family' that can be implemented on a GSM network with a software upgrade without the need for new network elements or any change to network design. The main hold-up for such services has been the lack of available handsets. The operators that have upgraded their GSM networks for HSCSD are: Europe: Connect, Austria KPN Orange, Belgium Eurotel Praha, Czech Republic Tele Denmark, Denmark Sonofon, Denmark Sonera, Finland DNA, Finland Cosmote, Greece Stet Hellas, Greece E-plus Mobilfunk, Germany Mannesmann, Germany Pannon GSM, Hungary Vodafone, Ireland LMT, Latvia Swisscom, Liechtenstein Tele 2, Liechtenstein BiteGSM, Lithuania Tango, Luxemburg Telenor, Norway Netcom, Norway Polkomtel, Poland Telecel Vodafone, Portugal Connex, Romania Mobitel d.d.,Slovenia Telia, Sweden Europolitan Vodafone, Sweden Swisscom Mobile, Switzerland Orange, Switzerland Eurotel, Slovak Republic Turkcell, Turkey Orange, UK Asia-Pacific HONG KONG CSL, Hong Kong SmarTone, Hong Kong New World, Hong- Kong SingTel Mobile, Singapore M1 Singapore Middle East and Africa: Partner Comm.Company, Israel MTN, South Africa Combined, these networks currently serve nearly 108 million customers with GSM services. << - Eric -
